Kool and Kass – Peaceful Solutions
If I’m honest the last few Kool AD releases have been pretty uneven. Sure there was alot of experimentation but not enough to take hold for an entire project. Somewhere along the line, Victor met a guy named Kassa Overall who shares the same effortless, stream of conscience, reference-heavy flow that made Das Racist so fun. Its the closest we’ve come to recapturing that DR irreverent reverence.

I admit. I haven’t listened to the whole album. But based on those three videos, I’m kinda mad at this. I don’t know the circumstances surrounding Heems and KoolAD parting ways, but one must assume it was a matter of creative or personal differences. If thats is in fact the case, then I can only imagine how much Heems might resent this sort of stuff. Maybe not, I don’t know… but My main gripe with this is that it seems like Victor is basically pursuing the same type of sound and feel that DR perfected, but without Heems. I can’t rule him out completely, or forever, but as of right now, this dude Kassa’s styles are ok at best, and unfortunately are pretty similar to one of Kool AD’s wack lazy flows; NOT one of Kool AD’s smart, challenging, poetic scatalogical lazy flows.
DR was able to leverage the contrast between Victor’s lackadaisical, unique, stumbling-upon-moments-of-genius-flow and Heems’ Boastful anthology-of-satires-of-known-rap-styles flow. Like Outkast they complimented each other. When they pulled in a third party it was always a wildcard that could add odd to the mix like Tone Tank or Lakutis.
Honestly, as silly as it is to lament the petering out of a band that never asked to be indulged with the favor of being taken seriously, I do. I’m glad they are both still rapping, but it might have been best for Victor to just continue on his astral tangent off into nowhere. To see him back in a duo, making irreverent joke rap -kinda- with a dude who is only okay at it, really rubs salt in the wound.
